The dicarboxylate anions 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate and fumarate can be selectively intercalated into the layered double hydroxide [LiAl 2 (OH) 6 ]Cl‚H 2 O from equimolar molar mixtures of the 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate and fumarate and maleate isomers, respectively. Time-resolved in situ energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction studies have shown that these are the thermodynamic products following the conversion of an initial phase in which all the anions are simultaneously intercalated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
